BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less.

The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

Bottom line
C3STROM's Astro Deluxe is a moto-style e-bike with full suspension. Its premium components and design flair win praise. Likewise, the ride comfort, brakes, and speed impress. Some niggles include chain slap, non-canceling turn signals, the small cargo rack, and ghost pedaling. At 99lb, this bike is heavy, too. Experts agree the Astro Deluxe isn't cheap, but only pricier "real" electric motorbikes offer this combination of suspension performance and speed. Still, buyers should consider if other options, like the Ride1UP Revv 1, can do what they want for a lower price.Expert Reviews
